Includes holograph (handwritten) addition to published text in pencil on p. [4], signed by author: "As soon as I can get time to do so, I shall write a little booklet on Lincoln, his real character and personality, mental and physical, with memoranda that I have of him, and the distinguished men who were closely associated with him in his great work, whom I knew and whose portraits I have painted from life. I shall gladly send you a copy. I will be glad to know what you think of the portrait and ask you to send me any press comments, adverse or otherwise, that you may happen to see. With great respect, Freeman Thorpe."
